Corbin Burnes - Endures worst start of season Burnes (3-3) took the loss Friday versus the Padres. He allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks with six strikeouts in 3.2 innings.

Impact Burnes had completed at least five innings in all 10 of his starts entering Friday, but he was far from his best in this one. He threw 59 of 95 pitches for strikes, while the five runs and eight hits against him were both season highs. The right-hander has had few bad outings in the last three years, so we'll give him a pass for this one. He's at a 2.50 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 84:13 K:BB in 68.1 innings this season. Burnes will look to bounce back at home versus the Phillies next week.

Luis Urías - Pulled with swollen thumb Urias' thumb is swollen from when he was jammed during an at-bat and it was negatively affecting his ability to grip the ball in the field, which is why he was removed from Friday'...

Impact Manager Craig Counsell said Urias has been able to deal with the issue when hitting, so he should be able to rejoin the lineup once he is able to grip the ball in the field. He is hitting .154 with two home runs over his last 10 games.

Luis Urías - Exits with thumb injury Urias left Friday's game against the Padres with right thumb discomfort, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Discomfort is a symptom, not a diagnosis, so it's hard to say what exactly Urias' availability will be in the short term. The Brewers are running out of healthy players capable of playing shortstop, as Willy Adames and Mike Brosseau are already on the injured list. Pablo Reyes replaced Urias in this one.

Impact Reyes failed to land a spot on the Brewers' 40-man roster this year, but he slashed .264/.345/.450 with five homers, 29 runs, 17 RBI and seven stolen bases over 33 games in Nashville to begin the year. The 28-year-old will provide depth for the major-league club after Mike Brosseau (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list.

Alex Jackson - Called up by Milwaukee Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Impact The Brewers are off on Monday, so they may be targeting Tuesday at home against the Phillies for Renfroe's activation if McCalvy's report is accurate. Tyrone Taylor has been performing well in Renfroe's absence and he draws another start in right field Friday.

Jace Peterson - Clutch performance in win Peterson went 2-for-3 with one triple, three RBI, one run scored and one steal in Thursday's victory over San Diego.

Impact Peterson walked in his first at-bat and proceed to swipe second, registering his seventh steal of the season. He reached base again in his second plate appearance with a single, but his game-tying, three RBI triple in the bottom of the ninth was the biggest swing of the night for either team. Peterson eventually scored the game-winning run on an Andrew McCutchen single. Over his last six games, Peterson has eight hits in 16 plate appearances, including two doubles, two triples and eight RBI.

Impact Houser bounced back with his third one-run outing over his last four games after giving up eight runs to the Cardinals in his last start.

Padres take 4-game losing streak into matchup with the Brewers

Mike Brosseau - Dealing with ankle issue Brosseau was unavailable Thursday against the Padres due to a sprained ankle, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact It was surprising to see Jace Peterson earn the starting nod over Brosseau with lefty Sean Manaea on the mound, though there is now clarity on that decision. It's unclear how long Brosseau will be sidelined, but Peterson has hit well this season -- he tied the game with a three-RBI triple in the ninth inning Thursday -- and he should have a clear path to playing time so long as Willy Adames (ankle) remains sidelined.

Alex Hall - Contract selected by Brewers Hall had his contract selected by Milwaukee on Thursday.

Impact Hall received the unexpected promotion from Single-A Wisconsin and will serve as the backup catcher against the Padres after Omar Narvaez was placed on the COVID-19 injured list. Hall's stay in the majors will almost assuredly be short-lived, as the team needed an emergency backstop on short notice. Alex Jackson or Mario Feliciano will likely take Hall's roster spot Friday.

Omar Narváez - Lands on COVID-19 injured list Narvaez was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Thursday.

Impact Narvaez was already out of the lineup Thursday, but his absence will now be extended. That will leave Victor Caratini as the primary catcher in the short term. Alex Hall had his contract selected in a corresponding move, though Mario Feliciano or Alex Jackson will presumably join the team beginning Friday.
